Overview

What changes when the weather drives your plans

Instead of switching to a weather app mid-conversation, you ask Claude. With this connector it pulls AccuWeather data for the place you name, by city or postal code, and often displays an interactive AccuWeather widget next to its answer. You do not even need an AccuWeather account: the publisher says none is required.

Know whether to leave now. widgets-minutecast-claude brings MinuteCast, AccuWeather's minute-by-minute precipitation forecast for the next 60 minutes, handy before a bike commute or an outdoor shoot.

Plan the week of an event. widgets-daily-claude covers up to 10 days, and widgets-hourly-claude up to 12 hours, so Claude can weigh a Saturday market against a Sunday one with the numbers in front of it.

Settle a "was it this cold last year?" debate. widgets-historical-claude returns temperature averages and records for any date in the past 14 days, excluding today, with the climatological normal, last year's value and the all-time record.

What the directory sheet does not tell you: Premium+ extras such as extended forecast hours and AccuWeather Alerts are not available through the connector, even if you pay for them in the app. MinuteCast does not cover every location. And Claude may answer from other sources if your message does not mention AccuWeather. Nothing runs on its own either: no warning arrives when a storm builds, because Claude only calls these tools while it answers you. A recurring weather check is the job of an automation tool, a different trade covered on the Integrations hub.

Vocabulary

Five words before you connect

The vocabulary you will meet while plugging AccuWeather into Claude.

Connector
The link you set up once between Claude and a service, so Claude can use it while it answers you.
Tool
One named thing a connector lets Claude do. Claude picks the ones it needs mid-answer, and the directory lists them by name.
Authorization
The screen where you grant the permissions the service requests. Granted once per person, and you can take it back later.
Approval
The confirmation Claude waits for before it goes through with something that changes an account, shown right in the chat.
MCP
The shared standard connectors are built on: the piece that lets an assistant like Claude talk to an outside service.
Connect

Connect AccuWeather to Claude in three steps

  1. 01

    Find AccuWeather in Claude

    In Claude's settings, open Customize, then Connectors, and look for AccuWeather in the list. On a Team or Enterprise workspace, an Owner or Primary Owner has to enable the connector first, before members can connect it.

  2. 02

    Start the connection

    Click Connect on its row and follow the window the service opens. If the link ever breaks, use Disconnect from the connector's page, then connect again.

  3. 03

    Review what you grant

    Read the permission screen before you accept. It comes from the service, not from Claude, and it sets what the access covers. You can withdraw it later by disconnecting.

Approvals

What Claude asks before acting

By default, Claude stops and asks for your go-ahead before every action it takes on an account on your behalf. The request shows up in the conversation, at the moment it matters.

AccuWeather adds a detail of its own: the first time you use the connector, Claude may ask permission to use one of its tools and to share the location your answer needs. You can allow it once, or always. On Team and Enterprise, owners decide whether members can let some actions through without a prompt, and they can cap what a connector may do for the whole organization. Nobody overrides that from their own account.

Plans

Which plans it works on

Out of 819 sheets in the official directory, not one shows availability by plan. That answer, connector by connector, is published nowhere: it is a real gap in the catalog.

The general rule is public: remote connectors are open to all users on Claude, Cowork, Claude Desktop and mobile. On Team and Enterprise, an Owner or Primary Owner enables the connector for the organization before each member can connect. AccuWeather's own article names plans, which the limits section sets against that rule. For the current state, check the connector's sheet in the official directory.

Limits

Where this connector stops

A connector is not an automation. Claude calls these tools while it answers you: no alert lands in your chat when a storm warning goes out.

A tool list that only shows reads is an observed floor, not a promise: an admin can open actions that appear on no public sheet. The partner badge is not a security audit either, and Anthropic says so on every sheet: it does not choose the tools a publisher exposes and does not guarantee they behave as described. This connector is documented only by its publisher; Claude's help center has no page of its own for it. For a connector where the sources disagree on writes, see the Claude adobe-workfront connector.

Two official sources disagree

Which Claude plans can use the AccuWeather connector?

What this page followsBoth point the same way, but not with the same authority: Anthropic states the rule for every connector, AccuWeather lists plans for its own and leaves Max out. Neither settles your case. Check the connector's sheet in the directory from your own account.

FAQ

Claude AccuWeather® connector: common questions

01What can Claude do with the AccuWeather® connector?
Claude can pull AccuWeather data for any place you name by city or postal code. Its nine documented tools cover current conditions, the MinuteCast precipitation forecast for the next 60 minutes, today and tonight, hourly forecasts up to 12 hours, daily forecasts up to 10 days, government alerts, radar, location search, and temperature averages and records for the past 14 days. Many answers come with an interactive widget, though some, such as temperature records, return text only.
02Can Claude change or send anything through AccuWeather?
By default, the directory sheet only shows reads: all nine tools fetch weather data and none writes, sends or deletes anything. That is an observed floor rather than a guarantee, since an administrator can open actions that appear on no public sheet. In practice, the connector looks up forecasts, radar and alerts for a location. AccuWeather also states you need no AccuWeather account, so there is no personal weather profile for Claude to edit.
03Does Claude ask before it uses AccuWeather?
Claude's default is to ask before any action on an account on your behalf. AccuWeather adds that the first time you use the connector, Claude may ask permission to use one of its tools and to pass along the location your question needs. Choosing Allow once approves that single request, while Always allow approves future ones automatically. On Team and Enterprise, owners decide whether members may skip some prompts and can limit the connector for everyone.
04Which Claude plans is it available on?
No official source publishes plan availability connector by connector, and none of the 819 directory sheets displays it. The general rule says remote connectors are open to all users on Claude, Cowork, Claude Desktop and mobile, with an Owner or Primary Owner enabling them first on Team and Enterprise. AccuWeather's support article names a set of plans of its own, quoted in the limits section. The directory sheet remains the only place showing the current state for your account.
05Does Claude see my AccuWeather account or Premium+ subscription?
No, and it does not need to. AccuWeather says you need no AccuWeather account or subscription to use the connector. Premium+ features such as extended forecast hours and AccuWeather Alerts are not currently available through the connector, so a subscription changes nothing on the Claude side. Claude only receives the location your question needs. On Team and Enterprise, an owner can still restrict or switch off the connector for the organization.
06Why did Claude answer my weather question without AccuWeather?
Because Claude does not always reach for the connector. AccuWeather explains that if your request does not mention AccuWeather, or asks for something the connector does not support, Claude may answer with other available information. The fix is simple: name AccuWeather in your message, for example by asking for the AccuWeather hourly forecast for tomorrow. If you expected a widget and got text, the request may be one that only returns text, such as temperature records.
07Claude or an automation tool for AccuWeather?
They do different jobs. Claude answers when you ask: should you wait before leaving, which weekend looks drier, was last week unusually warm. An automation tool runs in the background on a schedule or an event, which this connector does not do, since nothing fires on its own when a warning is issued. If you need a daily weather digest sent to a team, look at an automation platform; for a quick check in conversation, the connector is the right fit.
